Brian Karas’s accessible, adorable illustrations add to the fun.Includes a list of Mr. Tiffin’s tips for celebrating Poem in Your Pocket Day.”A nimble introduction to poetry as well as a sensitive look at the perils of perfectionism.” —The New York Times”Pair this book with the works of Shel Silverstein, Paul B. Janeczko, Jack Prelutsky, Douglas Florian, or Robert Louis Stevenson.” —School Library Journal, Starred
